Gearbox Fights Aliens Lawsuit

Gearbox Software has filed motions to have claims dropped against them in a
class-action suit over false advertising of advertised Aliens: Colonial Marines,
reports Polygon, adding that another motion was filed requesting to remove
the suit's class-action status. They argue that as the developer they should not
be held accountable for the game and its marketing, which were the
responsibility of publisher SEGA. The suit also alleges Gearbox steered
development funding for Aliens: Colonial Marines, while the motion states that
Gearbox supported development of the game with millions of dollars of their own
money, which was never repaid. The story also includes word that this suit might
have been settled a month ago with Gearbox dropped from the proceedings, except
one of the plaintiffs could not be located to approve. It was later learned this
was because he was incarcerated in Pennsylvania.
